Odds Analysis
The Los Angeles Lakers will host the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday as Los Angeles hopes to avoid seeing its season slip away. The Lakers are on the outside looking in of the Western Conference playoff picture and will need to be nearly perfect down the stretch in order to rally and qualify for the postseason. LeBron James will do what he can, but the Nuggets have a much more well-rounded team. Even on the road, Denver is the pick to not only win this game but also cover the spread.
Another interesting game on Wednesday features the San Antonio Spurs on the road against the Atlanta Hawks. The Spurs are hanging on to the final playoff spot in the Western Conference and would love to move up to avoid a first-round matchup against the Golden State Warriors. San Antonio has the superior record but the Hawks have been playing pretty good ball of late behind star rookie Trae Young. Atlanta is at home and it should be able to pick up this win over the Spurs.
The Phoenix Suns are suddenly on their hottest streak of the season, as they have won three of four, including an impressive home win over the Milwaukee Bucks last time out. The Suns have another winnable matchup next as they host the New York Knicks. It can often be easy money to bet against Phoenix, but the Suns should be a rare favorite in this one. The team finally seems to be finding a groove, and it should secure another win by knocking off New York.
The Sacramento Kings are the No. 9 seed in the West and are hoping to catch one of the teams above them in order to make the postseason. Sacramento is at home next time out against the Boston Celtics. It’s a long way from home for Boston, which could affect the team. However, the Celtics have the superior firepower and will be the choice to come away with a win.

The Utah Jazz are among the teams in the Western Conference jockeying for playoff positioning, and they have an interesting matchup next time out against the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans has been playing superstar center Anthony Davis limited minutes ever since he demanded a trade, and it’s imperative to see how much he will be on the court in this one, if the team lays it out.
Utah won’t have it easy, but is the choice to pick up a big-time road win over a solid Pelicans team. Davis may sit in the fourth quarter again, which will allow the Jazz to make enough big plays down the stretch to pull out the squeaker. Utah is the choice on the moneyline against the Pelicans in NBA odds.
